What makes this straw backpack with leather border special
Two leather shoulder straps let you wear it on your back, so your hands stay free for shopping, travelling or a day out. A leather border runs along the rim; it protects the edge of the weave and gives the bag a neat, finished look.
Its slim profile keeps it close to the body, which makes it easy to wear in a crowd or on public transport.
Handwoven in Morocco from doum palm and genuine leather
Every straw backpack with leather border is handmade in Morocco by local artisans from natural raw materials. The palm is woven by hand and finished with genuine leather details, so small differences in shade and shape are part of the charm. Our story goes back to 1962.
Doum palm is one of the traditional raw materials of Moroccan craftsmanship, alongside date palm leaves and rush. It weaves into a light, natural-looking fabric, and the leather adds strength where the piece is handled.
Weaving baskets from plant fibres is one of the oldest crafts in the world and is found in many cultures; for a general overview, see this page on basket weaving.
The leather is genuine leather: it softens and darkens naturally with use, so your piece gains character over time.
Sizes, colors and fit
The straw backpack with leather border measures 35 × 8 × 39 cm (length × width × height). The slim depth keeps it flat against the body.

How to use your straw backpack with leather border

How to care for it
To clean the straw backpack with leather border, brush off dust with a soft brush and wipe it with a lightly damp cloth. Let it dry naturally, away from direct sun and heaters. A little leather conditioner now and then keeps the leather supple.
